Kihia shook his head, No need to dwell on the past… I need to focus on this mission to help make sure nothing goes wrong… He whipped around his backpack in front of him checking his supplies; the job ahead of them was bound to be a long one. Five large containers of water, food rations that could last a month, a simple compass…and extra bandages….check.

Kihia’s right eyebrow twitched however when he saw the man’s backpack, which was twice the size of the man himself. “Oh there you are my two bodyguards!!
